Initial analysis

The 455-unit high-rise building at 3450 N Lake Shore in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, constructed in 1969, is currently owned by HH LTD & JL WOODE. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 44 service requests through the 311 system, though only 4 building permits have been recorded during this same period. The most recent service requests from 2026 suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure needs in the surrounding area, including multiple stop sign repairs and a street light outage, all of which have been successfully closed except for one open tree planting request. Notably, none of the service requests during this period relate directly to the building's internal systems or structure, with all recorded complaints pertaining to external infrastructure issues. The relatively low number of building permits and service requests, particularly for a large building of this size, might indicate either a well-maintained property or limited reporting of issues.

Risk rating

How 3450 N Lake Shore Chicago's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
